Chapter 2577 - 2575: Little Bai Captured
The people in the inn suddenly took an interest, turning their ears and eyes towards Zhang Hengyu.
Someone said, "I know this Eastern Emperor. I was present last time when the Heavenly Court bestowed the title of Eastern Emperor upon him. This person has formidable mana and even the Golden-Winged Great Roc from the Buddhist Sect was no match for him. Why would the Kunlun Mountains invite such a powerful enemy?"
Zhang Hengyu drank his wine, smiling faintly, "What’s so peculiar about this? Our Kunlun Sect has always taken it upon ourselves to subdue demons and eliminate evils. I’ve heard that this Eastern Emperor has gathered a group of sinister outsiders. Naturally, our Kunlun Sect cannot tolerate them."
"Now things are lively, Kunlun Sect is the place of Yuanshi Celestial Venerable. No matter how bold that Eastern Emperor is, he wouldn’t dare to touch the Ganoderma lucidum."
"Who says otherwise, there’s no one born in this world who dares to act unruly on Kunlun Mountains!"
"..."
Zhang Hengyu successfully sparked a conversation, squinting at the private rooms on the second floor.
The group including Little Bai were all staring at him. He drank a bowl of wine with a shout, "Enough said, those two thieves were heavily injured inside the Magical Treasure. My master sent me to buy herbs specifically for healing, I must return to the mountains immediately."
The people around him exchanged courteous bows, and with faces full of compliments, called out, "Brother, have a safe journey."
After Zhang Hengyu left, Little Bai and the others immediately followed him out of the tavern.
The group left the city, reaching halfway up the mountain.
Amidst the dense forest, the mountain wind blew down a reddened maple leaf.
Zhang Hengyu stood below, feeling a moment of melancholy, "The autumn wind sweeps the leaves, the forest moves and the birds are startled. You’ve been following this humble one for so long, why not come out and show yourselves?"
Little Bai and the others stepped out from all sides of him.
Slightly curling his lips, Zhang Hengyu asked them, "Judging by your expressions, you’re not here to drink with this humble one, are you?"
Little Bai asked him, "What’s the matter with those two people you mentioned earlier? How are they doing now?"
Zhang Hengyu laughed lightly, "Why should I tell you?"
Little Qing scolded, "We are their siblings, if you don’t speak, you shouldn’t return to the mountain today."
Zhang Hengyu laughed loudly, "Such bold words, when I was dealing with your father, you hadn’t even been born!"
Little Bai frowned coldly, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Vermilion Bird surveyed him up and down, "You, a mere Kunlun disciple, dare to be mentioned alongside our father?"
Shaking his head, Zhang Hengyu sighed, "Everyone has their destiny. Had it not been for your father, I wouldn’t be begging for food under someone else’s roof. Speaking of which, I suppose we’re old neighbors. I won’t kill you, quickly escape!"
"How arrogant you are!"
Little Bai’s form twisted, raising his hand intending to grab him.
His speed was as fast as lightning, the right hand reaching Zhang Hengyu in a blink.
Unexpectedly, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of him, directly engulfing him.
Little Qing and the other three were shocked, yelling out, "Let go of my second brother!"
Zhang Hengyu held the Primordial Unity Jade Box, laughing triumphantly, "Ignorant juniors, unaware of their limitations. What your father owes me, shall be repaid by you today!"
His eyes revealed a murderous intent, and a longsword flew out, sweeping directly towards Little Qing.
Little Qing lifted her sword to block, the Sword of Emperor Qing, which could summon the power of all flora.
As she moved the sword, the surrounding aura of vegetation swiftly gathered upon her sword, transforming into a blue sword shadow several dozen yards long.
A clanging sound!
Zhang Hengyu’s longsword clashed against her Sword of Emperor Qing, this sword held a peculiar power, transforming into a wheel-like shape.
This wheel contained six compartments.
Each compartment evolved a different principle, displaying various colors and Dharma Laksana.
Little Qing glanced at it, and felt as if her soul was being sucked into the wheel.
The spiritual wood aura on her sword was also completely consumed by this wheel.
Zhang Hengyu turned with his sword, aiming to take her head.
Vermilion Bird hastily unleashed a blaze behind him, encircling Zhang Hengyu.
Little Xuan also stepped forward, transforming into Black Tortoise Tortoise Shell to shield Little Qing.
Zhang Hengyu’s sword slashed across the Turtle Shell barrier, with a sizzling sword sound, sparking across.
Behind him, the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate formed as well, protecting him. As the plate turned, Vermilion Bird’s flames were swiftly absorbed into it.
Like a filter, it transformed into a dispersed red mist.
Little Qing regained her senses, yelling in shock, "What is this wicked technique?"
Zhang Hengyu chuckled, "After nine lifetimes, my grandfather comprehended this technique, wicked or not, it’s a grand technique of the Buddhist Sect. You’re still young, what do you know."
"Reincarnation?"
Little Xuan and the other three were simultaneously startled, uttering no further words, immediately deploying all the Celestial Realms Thunderbolt Pearl they possessed.
A hail-like barrage of golden spheres bombarded Zhang Hengyu, containing the power of nine heavenly thunderbolts.
Zhang Hengyu quickly deployed the Apricot Yellow Banner to enshroud himself. Amidst the cacophony, the Thunderbolt Pearls exploded, forming a sea of thunder that enveloped him.
Yet the Apricot Yellow Banner was exceptionally powerful, a true Saint Relic.
Despite the thunderous sea outside, within it, he remained unscathed.
Once the thundersea dispersed, Little Xuan and the other three had vanished.
Frowning slightly, Zhang Hengyu sneered, "Consider yourselves quick to escape, capturing one of them satisfies the task, I’ll return to the mountain first."
Little Qing and the other three possessed the Emperor Sword.
Zhang Hengyu wasn’t reckless, won’t get excited to pursue them just because of some words from Jiang Ziya.
He stayed on Kunlun Mountains purely to steal techniques.
This entire reincarnation technique was comprehended from murals within a cave on Kunlun Mountains.
Back then half of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun Mountains joined the Buddhist Sect.
The Power of Reincarnation is the supreme technique of the Buddhist Sect.
Upon returning to the mountain, Zhang Hengyu handed the Jade Box and Apricot Yellow Banner to Jiang Ziya, kneeling down in obeisance to report, "I failed, only caught a small one back, let those three thieves escape."
Jiang Ziya stroked his beard in satisfaction, "It’s not your fault, those three bear the divine beast bloodline, truly difficult to oppose. You’re merely at True Immortal Cultivation Level, capturing one already pleases me greatly."
He took out a Golden Hoop, releasing Little Bai, and placed it on Little Bai’s legs.
Infuriated, Little Bai’s eyes turned red as he shouted in fury, "Curse you, prepare to die!"
He intended to take action against Jiang Ziya, but Jiang Ziya was reciting the Tight-binding Spell, causing the Golden Hoop to suddenly constrict, making Little Bai reveal his tiger fangs, howl in pain, and roll on the ground.
Jiang Ziya chuckled blandly, "A mere Tiger Demon, daring to act unruly on Kunlun Mountains, go meet your brothers below!"
He raised his hand, letting the disciples outside drag Little Bai out, hanging him beside the Little Kirin.
Seeing the Little Kirin, Little Bai’s eyes turned red, crying out loudly, "Big brother, it’s my fault, I couldn’t save you all."
"Stop crying, don’t let these Kunlun dog-thieves belittle you!"
Little Kirin stopped him with a shout, eyes bloodshot, glaring angrily at the main hall where Jiang Ziya resided, "Kunlun dog-thieves, if you want to kill then do so, why bind us here?"
Jiang Ziya, bringing Zhang Hengyu out from inside, stroked his beard laughing heartily at the Little Kirin, "Why rush? Once your family is reunited, this seat shall see you all off to the Netherworld. Once, I enthroned as a deity, and later I shall enthrone as a ghost!"
